Abstract:Introduction: The etiology of myoglobinuric acute kidney injury involves oxidative injury brought on by the Fenton reaction and myoglobin redox cycle. Renal tubules may be harmed, and lipid peroxidation compounds with vasoconstrictor characteristics may be produced. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant shown to improve renal microcirculation and have protective effects in various models of renal damage. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the protective impact of NAC in glycerol-induced rats by measuri… Show more
